Meet Chanda Temple

Meet Chanda Temple Hi! I'm Chanda Temple. Welcome to my blog about living your truth.
 
Instagram post 2340025102821039865_1011240600 Help a sista out. Which air fryer are you using and what do you like abt it? I’m ready to take the plunge and get one. However, there are so many reviews, I’m just like which one do I pick? I favor one good at doing chicken, wings, fries and root veggies. (There are good online reviews for the @ninjakitchen, Vortex and @cosoricooks.) 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️#eeeeeats #f52grams #airfryer #airfryerrecipes
Instagram post 2339280729950923855_1011240600 I give up. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ Trying to get a good pic of mayo-based food is such a challenge. But when I tell you that eating this broccoli salad from @urbancookhouse_downtownbham was the best reward, evah, believe me. It’s soooo good. Plus, there are noooo bacon bits! Yay! #eeeeeats #forkyeah #foodpic #f52grams #buylocal #eatincolor #whatsonmyplate #nomnom #yum #instagood #instagrambham #inbirmingham #bhameats
Instagram post 2332042485370886121_1011240600 This sourdough crepe from @whatwolfwants was inspired by the children’s book, “I Am Enough” by @ladygracebyers. Pic and recipe are on #whatwolfwants feed. #amazing #eeeeeats #f52grams #nomnom #foodpic #foodie #naturalhair #curlyhair #naturalista #curlygirl
Instagram post 2328623894525079786_1011240600 What’s for lunch? Tacos from Dos Hermanos food truck or First Avenue North, across from @innovationdepot. Pic in the forefront is their most popular one: steak and chorizo. yum #eeeeeats #getinmybelly #nomnom #f52grams #eatincolor #whatsonmyplate #eatingfortheinsta #foodpic #inbirmingham #tacos #yummy #yum #forkyeah #foodie
Instagram post 2319902260699957653_1011240600 Just had the most amazing lunch at @tedsbirmingham. This family-run restaurant recently celebrated 20 years in the business. If you are looking for a #meatandthree in #bham, check them out. When you look at the steam table, you want everything. I listened to what folks were ordering. I heard a lot of fried chicken, chopped steak, baked chicken and pork chop. I went with the chopped steak, and I was not disappointed. I added green beans and #macandcheese to round out my order. You get a choice of cornbread or roll. Oh, and I almost jumped for joy when I saw they had fried #chickenlivers (Yep! I love ‘em. And yep, they are good.) This eatery run by a loving couple, Beba and Tasos Touloupis, is located near UAB. (Oh, and did I tell you the fried pies are freshly made and topped with powdered sugar?) I’m full now and need a nap. #eeeeeats #f52grams #whatiameating #inbirmingham #eatincolor #foodpic #eatingfortheinsta #getinmybelly #forkyeah #foodie #nomnom #bhamstrong #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #buylocal #yum #foodie
Instagram post 2316919255723197601_1011240600 Nothing like freshly cut watermelon in the morning. Where are you finding your watermelons today? This one is from @aldiusa. #yum #mmmmm #hellosummer #eeeeeats #f52grams #eatincolor #memorialday #whatsonmyplate #eatingfortheinsta #foodpic #foodie #inbirmingham
Instagram post 2313625189652780706_1011240600 Anyone tried the sweet kale salad kits by @yourtaylorfarms? I found mine in @publix. Omg! Soooo good! This 12 ounce bag comes with poppyseed dressing and a packet of pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries. I added extra pumpkin seeds, extra dried cranberries, feta cheese and chicken. Kit contains kale, broccoli, green cabbage, Brussels sprouts and radicchio. Publix is having a special this week: 3 packages for $10. I can get 3 salads out of one package. Or if you really like big salads, you can get 2 salads out of one pack. It was a feast fit for a queen. #eeeeeats #f52grams #forkyeah #foodpic #eatincolor #eatingfortheinsta #nomnom #yum #whatsonmyplate #whatsfordinner #girlsonfood #foodie #whatsforlunch
Instagram post 2311268756978293973_1011240600 When your friend says, “I’m making fish and grits, you want some?” How can you resist? Grits are really cheddar corn grits seasoned with a garlic/onion blend topped with piping hot catfish strips and cilantro. Washing it down with #simplylemonade adorned with frozen fresh pineapple chunks. #yummy #bestever #eeeeeats #f52grams #getinmybelly#forkyeah #yum #foodpic #eatincolor #eatingfortheinsta #whatsfordinner #whatsonmyplate

Tonight, it was the pan seared pork chop with a sorghum glaze, sautéed asparagus with bacon, roasted potatoes with smoked aioli and corn muffins with honey whipped butter from @satterfieldsrestaurant. #eeeeeats #f52grams #nomnom #getinmybelly #yum #foodphoto #forkyeah #eatincolor #eatlocal #eatincolor #whatsonmyplate #inbirmingham #carryout #curbsidepickup #bhamstrong #supportsmallbusiness

Instagram post 2279549022188857094_1011240600 Hey #Birmingham! Thanks for supporting our restaurants tonight during the #coronavirus crisis. Cars lined up on Second Avenue North has been the scene for the last three hours. People are getting take out from @bambooon2nd, @elbarriobham, @eastwestbham and @lefresca . People, while practicing social distancing, were also showing love to @encorerouge and Travis food trucks in the eastern part of town tonight. #bhamstrong #eeeeeats #f52grams #eatlocal #buylocal #whatsfordinner #whatsonmyplate #inbirmingham #eatingfortheinsta #eatincolor #nomnom
Instagram post 2274532063105595724_1011240600 Remembering the time when it seemed sooo normal for a friend to host a #GoldenGirls trivia night, which attracted a packed house of some super friends. #Thatrona was not even an issue. All you were concerned about back then was picking the best @cheesecakefactory cheesecake slice because they ALL looked sooo good. 😭😭😂😂 #eeeeeats #forkyeah #getinmybelly #f52grams #eatincolor #takemeback #whatsonmyplate #eatingfortheinsta #foodpic #girlsonfood @goldengirlsdaily #thankyouforbeingafriend #thegoldengirls

Instagram post 2255448886443727056_1011240600 You know what’s soooo good? The barbecue shrimp and grits at @automaticseafood. The grits are thick and creamy, just like they were meant to be. It is topped with a tomato gravy, with a touch of brisket in it. You will def get full off of this. And since I’m on this kale kick, I also tried their kale salad. #eeeeeats #forkyeah #eatincolor #f52grams #buylocal #instagrambham inbirmingham #shrimpandgrits #eatingfortheinsta #whatsonmyplate
Instagram post 2253836568096038312_1011240600 Anyone tried the kale salad at @chickfila? Omg!! It’s sooo freaking good! Once I finished, I wanted more. The vinaigrette they mix in it takes it to a whole nutha level. Bye bye #wafflefries, this #kalecrunchside salad is my new boo. #eatincolor #foodpic #eeeeeats #f52grams #girlsonfood #eatingfortheinsta #eatingforthegram #forkyeah #nomnom
Instagram post 2250175750596856070_1011240600 Last night, I attended a cool pajama painting party by @nontoxc. The painting, DJ vibes and fellowship were just as awesome as the food. I was so into everything, I only got pics of these homemade desserts at the end. Run by @authenticmuse_, @nontoxc is a unique way to relax, relate and release. Consider her for your next team building event, reunion or party. She sketched out the image and we painted it. Then, she went back over it to outline our image so it would pop! We did canvas totes. But she also offers canvas. #eeeeeats #f52grams #eatingfortheinsta #whatsonmyplate #eatincolor #forkyeah #entrepreneur #entrepreneurlife
Instagram post 2244361367979484286_1011240600 Did you know #Bham’s @bizarre.thecoffeebar now has homemade cakes and cake slices from My Sweet Bakery out of Fairfield? Well, apparently other folks know because they sell 100 to 130 slices a week. And just how busy were they on #valentinesday? They sold 25 red velvet cakes and 18 slices of different cakes in about an hour, right after they were delivered. (They also have key lime cake, blue velvet cake and German chocolate cake. The cakes are $10. The slices are $3.75.) The coffee shop, now under new ownership with Will Harvill, still has its same menu. But the cakes are new. “I tried their cakes and I fell in love with them,” Will said. “Plus, he has a passion for what he does. He uses more natural ingredients for all of his products.” The coffee shop also features area chefs, art shows, open mic, book signings and more on select weekends. On Feb. 22, they will have a vegan brunch from 2 to 4 pm by Underground Vegan. Plates will range from $9 to $14. #eeeeeats #f52grams #inbirmingham #forkyeah #whatsonmyplate #eatingfortheinsta #buylocal #foodpic #girlsonfood #eatincolor
Instagram post 2243844960214624232_1011240600 #valentinesday just got sweeter!! Shout out to @fullmoonbbq for the cookies and flowers. If you have not tried their fresh baked cookies, what are you waiting for? They are listed on Alabama’s 100 Things to Eat Before You Die. #winning #eeeeeats #nomnom #yum #getinmybelly #foodpic #buylocal #inbirmingham
